About The Welldiggers Arms

The Welldiggers Arms sits at Low Heath, on the edge of Petworth itself, and has been run as a Butcombe Boutique Inn with a strong emphasis on both its kitchen and its rooms. It is close enough to walk into Petworth for the antique shops and Petworth House, while feeling properly rural once you're on site, with views across a coppice towards the rolling South Downs.

The inn's 14 bedrooms are split between rooms within the historic building and a quieter annexe, each decorated in muted, contemporary country style rather than heavy period pastiche. Large picture windows in the dining areas take full advantage of the downland views, and the kitchen runs a regularly changing seasonal menu built around local produce.

Free Wi-Fi, a terrace for outdoor dining and easy access to Goodwood, some twelve miles away, round out a stay here, making it a solid choice for visitors wanting boutique comfort within walking distance of the town centre.
